how is MX master perform in gaming?

you will need a separate controller for that, it wont work with normal SDL-PS2 cable since its not designed to be used with regular PC. For now, I only keep it as exhibition piece.

The Industrial M and regular M is completely the same, the only differences are shell color and logo.

Mine has just arrived, the package is a little insufficient, thank God nothing goes amiss. Am I in? :D

Okay, after using it for few days.. this USB - PS2 adapter started to not working well.
Sometimes on reboot, I have to unplug and plug in the USB again or else the keyboard wont work.

Also, in gaming session I cant hold the keys.. for eg. keep holding W for few seconds and it will stop registering ...

Hi, I have a PS2 - USB adapter (see in the attachment) I have recently brought them to use with my Cherry G80-11800 and it works perfectly. However, I also have IBM Model M, Model M SSK, and Model F AT- but I have heard about a myth that IBM keyboards are power hungry beast and using those with ...

Nice video! :) I've been wanting to do a Matias v Alps video for a long time now, but I don't own a Matias keyboard.

The Focus looks really lovely with the Thai sublegends; I suppose it's because of them they're not the usual Tai-Hao doubleshots (quite similar to the ones you stuck on the KBP ...

Hi, I have made a quick comparison video of ALPS SKCM Blue vs Matias Click. Few months ago, I wanna know whats so good about ALPS style switches; why do people like it so much, so i ordered this KBP V80 with Matias click. And a month later, I found a Focus FK-2001 with ALPS SKCM blue ...

Having an "upside-down" back sticker with date-of-birth info is something not unusual on IBM UK Greenock-made IBM model M keyboards. Many IBM UK Greenock-made 42H1292 have the same issue of "upside-down" stickers.

While it is hard to tell from the picture, it looks like the internal date code ...

Hi guys, I have just received an Industrial Grey Model M for $130, the part no. is 1394950. I tried searching for this part no. but couldnt find any details on it, the closest one is 1394946 which were made around the same period. Another weird thing is that this particular one does not come with ...

Thats what i thought when I got my first mechanical keyboard, and never understood why anyone would spent more than $100 on a keyboard.

Now I have 9 keyboards in my closet and had spent over $1500 so far, while still havent achieved my end-game.

Thanks for all the advice.

turned out that my board doesnt look that bad .. the only bad part is that the keyfeel is one of the worst i have ever encountered- the switch is very mushy and scratchy, i dont like them at all. I believe ALPS board are very vulnerable to dust, and this one is made back ...

Thanks for the comment guys, yea.. it does look like Ortek_MCK-101- but im quite surprised that it still looks good and there is no sign of yellowing despite its age.

Btw, what should i do with my FK-2001? Whats the most simple way of restoring the plastic color and getting rid of those dirt ...

Hi, I have recently got myself a FK-2001 with SKCM Blue but there is also another one in which i could also buy, the one on top. It uses the similar design case without any badge but utilizes ALPS clone switch. What is it actually, and is it worth getting one? He offered me $20 including shipping ...

My HHKB Pro 2 has weird scratchy feeling on the left shift as well, all other keys are buttery smooth though.

Thanks for all the comment and warm welcome, now since I have been using Model F for awhile and found that its very pleasant to type on. I want to use it as a daily driver. Are there anything or any of its weakness i need to be aware of ? This keyboard has never been disassembled before and there ...

Hi, I have been into vintage keyboards lately; since I have been introduced to my first vintage keyboard which is the IBM Model M and have been using it for around 6 months. I have always been looking for another Model M; while only can use one at a time- I'm now having 3 Model Ms and will buy more ...
